Cline Release Notes

Added

• Add a debug section in settings for Cline testers.

Fixed

• Include the walkthrough markdown files in the VS Code extension package so the first-run walkthrough steps load correctly.

Added

• Add the latest Fireworks AI serverless models and update the default Fireworks model to Kimi K2.6.

Fixed

• Fix MCP server delete/add flows so settings writes do not cause the MCP server list to be emptied by the file watcher.
• Remove stale Fireworks AI models and correct Fireworks model metadata and cache pricing.

Changed

• Always use the upstream Cline recommended models endpoint instead of gating it behind a feature flag.

Added

• Add MiniMax M3 model support.

Fixed

• Update VS Code extension dependencies to resolve security issues in @xmldom/xmldom, basic-ftp, axios, undici, and other direct/transitive packages.

Fixed

• Fix @ file mentions and workspace file search on VS Code 1.122+ by resolving the new bundled @vscode/ripgrep-universal per-platform binary layout before falling back to legacy ripgrep paths.

Fixed

• Fix @ file mentions failing to find files in some environments (notably VS Code Remote SSH, and after certain VS Code updates) by keeping the file-search fallback alive when the workspace index or bundled ripgrep binary is unavailable.

Added

• Add Claude Opus 4.8 provider support, including 1M-context variants where available.
• Add Moonshot Kimi K2.6 model support.

Fixed

• Show prompt-cache support for Qwen 3.7 Max in the Cline provider.
• Fix the VS Code nightly publish workflow startup permissions.

Changed

• Move the VS Code extension project into apps/vscode.

Added

• Add GPT-5.5 support to SAP AI Core.
• Add DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro models.
• Add Gemini 3.5 Flash to Gemini and Vertex providers.
• Add /lg-task URI webhook integration for LG dashboard flows.

Fixed

• Fix Vertex AI global endpoint handling for Claude models.
• Route Poolside Laguna models through next-gen prompts and native tool calling.

Changed

• Update diff and protobufjs dependencies.

• Fix DeepSeek API cost reporting (input price is 0 since it's all either a cache read or write, different than how Anthropic reports cache usage)

• Emphasize auto-formatting done by the editor in file edit responses for more reliable diff editing

• Add DeepSeek provider to API Provider options
• Fix context window limit errors for DeepSeek v3

• Fix bug where DeepSeek v3 would incorrectly escape HTML entities in diff edits

Added

• Add SAP AI Core support for additional hosted models

Fixed

• Disable the MCP "Restart Server" button when a server is toggled off.

Changed

• Remove the Cline Kanban launch modal and bundled demo media from the VS Code extension startup flow.

• Mitigate DeepSeek v3 diff edit errors by adding 'auto-formatting considerations' to system prompt, encouraging model to use updated file contents as reference point for SEARCH blocks

• Revert to using batched file watcher to fix crash when many files would be created at once

• Fix bug where some files would be missing in the @ context mention menu
• Add Bedrock support in additional regions
• Diff edit improvements
• Add OpenRouter's middle-out transform for models that don't use prompt caching (prevents context window limit errors, but cannot be applied to models like Claude since it would continuously break the cache)

• Fix bug where gemini models would add code block artifacts to the end of text content
• Fix context mention menu visual issues on light themes

• Adds block anchor matching for more reliable diff edits (if 3+ lines, first and last line are used as anchors to search for)
• Add instruction to system prompt to use complete lines in diff edits to work properly with fallback strategies
• Improves diff edit error handling
• Adds new Gemini models

• Cline now uses a search & replace diff based approach when editing large files to prevent code deletion issues.
• Adds support for a more comprehensive auto-approve configuration, allowing you to specify which tools require approval and which don't.
• Adds ability to enable system notifications for when Cline needs approval or completes a task.
• Adds support for a root-level .clinerules file that can be used to specify custom instructions for the project.

Added

• Restore VS Code foreground terminal support and settings.
• Add latest OpenAI, SAP AI Core, and Z AI models.

Fixed

• Fix hook template JSON escaping.
• Improve ripgrep file search error handling.

Changed

• Remove hardcoded model lists from docs.
